Press Quotes
TIME ALONE
“Alessandro Camon’s two-hander transpires in overlapping monologues between Anna Jackson, a traumatized shut-in whose police officer son was killed in the line of duty, and Gabriel Wayland, a prison inmate in solitary confinement. The characters — both sympathetic, both impassioned — hold forth about their radically different views on the nature of time, regret and the criminal justice system. Gabriel speaks from his cell, Anna from the prison-like home … His drama comes full circle in a beautifully realized denouement that emphasizes not only our human need for connection, but our innate and sometimes surprising capacity for forgiveness.” —F Kathleen Foley, Los Angeles Times
“I was riveted … sharp writing and observations … In their haunted isolation, for all their differences, victim and perpetrator both experience time as a tool of torture. And then, in a twist I can’t give away, they discover a connection that carries with it a hint of redemption.” —Steve Lopez, Los Angeles Times
“Stunning … Poetic writing … An inspired two-hander that casts a jaundiced eye on the criminal justice and prison systems … Camon employs the same grim nuance that was so successful in his Oscar-nominated screenplay for The Messenger … His familiarity with the subject brings immediacy as well as emotional and psychological veracity to his writing.” —The Hollywood Reporter
THE LISTENER
Praise for the film version of THE LISTENER:
“Takes on a pandemic many Americans experienced and continue to, even post-quarantine: loneliness. Rife with compassion.” —Lisa Kennedy, The New York Times
“A testament to the power of empathy and connection.” —Valerie Kalfrin, Alliance of Women Film Journalists
“Hypnotic … trenchant melancholy and often poetic rumination on human resilience despite the odds.” —Nicholas Bell, Ioncinema
“Sensitive, subtle, and restrained.” —Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
“A character drama so quiet it cuts through the noise.” —Christian Blauvelt, Indiewire
SCINTILLA
“Terrific … a sobering look at the fires we set, those we flee and those that engulf us … What seems like a deceptively simple premise develops several intriguing layers … Equal parts domestic drama and a harrowing investigation into the results of climate change, SCINTILLA is as impactful as it is unrelenting.” —Evan Henderson, BroadwayWorld
“Exquisite, lyrical, urgently important.” —Travis Michael Holder
